My awesome treehouse in YoVille!
YoVille is a great little game for people who like to build their own characters and create a more realistic fantasy life. Not unlike the Sims, YoVille is a game where you design your character and decorate their house. You then take your character through their world, performing activities and shopping and interacting with your friends.
In that way, YoVille is not unlike the Sims. Unlike the Sims, YoVille was designed for Facebook, and you can feel the intuitiveness of that when you play. Like many of Zynga’s games, you start each session with a gift screen and the invitation to send gifts to your friends. In this game, the gift screen is tied to various different kinds of gifts. There are gifts for crafting materials, gifts for decoration, gifts for your friend’s home, or gifts for special collections that are time-sensitive.
This brings us to the way you make in-game money. There is, of course, always the option of paying REAL money to the nice folks at Zynga, but for those of us that prefer to save our real money for our real lives, there are lots of way to earn money in game.
First, you can work at the widget factory. You can do a job there, but it costs a lot of energy points. The amount of money you earn for doing this job depends on the number of friends you have that are playing YoVille. This provides you with incentive to encourage your friends to play YoVille as well, to help both of you make more at the widget factory.
Second, you can do “jobs.” These are more random. One, for example, involves catching bats. If you catch enough bats, you’ve mastered the job and you get money. There are many of these jobs that you can master to get money for your character.
You can also “craft collectibles” which requires gathering the materials for said collectibles, then crafting them. Once they are crafted you can sell them for money or use them to decorate your home.
Once you’ve gotten money, you can take your time and buy things. You can upgrade your house, like I did. You can decorate and re-decorate your house, buy new clothes, new hairstyles and new items to play with, or visit your friends.
I like this game. It’s a fun little game that you can drop into and out of without too much of an issue.
